bmt: So based on that Vodafone page you can only get the One with a $140 plan? I can't see any way of changing it.

If so... lol.

Well that is FREE with a $140 plan and as has already been pointed out they have LIMITED stock, they are going to try and make as much money as they can with those few items as they can. It might surprise some here that the aim of businesses is to make money :)

Telecom support don't have any idea about a date for their HTC One pre-ordering. If/when I leave 2D it'll be to Telecom and I figure I may as well try and get a new phone at the same time but the uncertainty is a bit of a pain.

Which is weird seeming Dick Smith has a confirmed Ship date for their Telecom Model of the 7th of May.

Hi guys, long time reader first time poster. Just curious as to how you have preordered from DSE & Noel Leeming etc, I have looked on their respective websites and they make no mention of the phone being available.

I am interested in the black 64gb model, but I understand that these are rare as hens teeth and would be willing to settle for a 32gb.

So did you go in store and speak to a rep? I was just on the phone to a Voda customer service rep and they were pretty much useless at telling me anything about the phones availability off contract (I am already signed with them). I also have a $350 credit with them and I am wondering if they will accept this at DSE and Noel Leeming, as they may be a "participating VF store".

Yeah good point, not a bad return for Vodafone.. $3360 over the life of the contract for a phone that some have pre-ordered for $800.

Right and of course they don't have any cost for any other part of that $140 plan right?

Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Before/on the Easter weekend specials the HTxc One was listed on the NL website. It had a 20% discount so people have pre ordered it for $800
